Chapter 93: Popsicle (3)

“I know you’re worried.” Jiang Guanshan interrupted him and said benignly, “As a student, you should focus on your study, so we don’t need to hurry about the film poster shooting. You can go back to school to talk with your master, and then tell me a proper time for you to do it.”

He Bai finally heaved a sigh of relief heavily, and he immediately told him that he would go back to school and discuss it with his master.

There were some issues in Dong Ni’s shooting scene, so Jiang Guanshan left right after that on the deputy director’s call.

He Bai couldn’t suppress his excitement any more and gave Di Qiuhe a couple of heavy punches. He had a big ear-to-ear smile on his face and said, “Qiuhe, I’m gonna shoot a film poster! This is my first formal commercial group photograph work!”

“Puppy is so impressive.” Di Qiuhe smiled as well. He then pressed his head and rubbed him when he stopped his punching. He was so excited that he wished he could hug him into his arms and rub him all over. But his beloved puppy could become so aggressive when he was excited, and that meant he could suffer from “domestic violence”. So he held his emotion and said, “I’ll wait for you with the crew, you just come here quickly.” He had got used to seeing his puppy every minute after the few days being together. Director Jiang’s offer was indeed a big pie in the sky, and so was it to him.

Wang Boyi, the man who was standing behind them all the time was thinking, “Mr. Di, did you forget about your assistant is still here? You are now smiling like a silly puppy, and I see your reputation is collapsing…”

Di Qiuhe’s excitement only lasted for ten minutes. After ten minutes, bumpy it was, Dong Ni had finally wrapped up her first scene, and they were going to have their first cooperation.

Cheng Jun ran to the dock alone as he almost got rid of those cops chasing after him. He was stuck at the entrance of the lane by Tu Xiu who was played by Dong Ni and had a fierce quarrel with her. Tu Xiu begged Cheng Jun to surrender, yet Cheng Jun couldn’t explain to her as he had got a mission to finish. The cops were catching up and Tu Xiu seemed to call for her companions for help. He could do nothing but to compromise and knocked her down when she approached him. He then left with the guilt and love of his beloved one, and went for the battle of life and death.

That was a play that required a lot of emotional expressions. Both Dong Ni and the director were very stressed, but Di Qiuhe was feeling stressed out.

“It’s endless! Cheng Jun, if you are still a man then you shouldn’t follow that way!” Tu Xiu yelled at him and her eyes were full of tears. Her hairs fell scattered on her trembling shoulders and she was already on the verge of emotional collapse.

Cheng Jun stood on the darker side and he could only keep silent as he couldn’t explain anything to her.

“Follow me.” Tu Xiu rubbed her face. She became quite determined and pointed her gun at him, “Cheng Jun, you forced me to do this…stay down and hands up! Do not resist!”

“Tu Xiu.” Cheng Jun finally spoke to her. He walked one step further into the light with a gloomy face.

Tu Xiu couldn’t help but stepped back. She took her eyes off him and yelled again, “Freeze! Hands up! Now!”

“Cut! Pass!”

Director Jiang waved his hand and then all the nervous staff watching aside got relieved.

This scene had been filmed many times, and if it still couldn’t pass the whole crew would have been drowning in the dreadful atmosphere.

“Let’s have a ten minutes break and then we take the last scene!” Director Jiang tapped on the script and said.

The crew held their nerve again and looked at each other. They all saw Di Qiuhe walking from the scene for a break, and they were wondering how tired it was for him to film that scene again and again with Dong Ni, as watching them filming was already quite tiring.

Ugh…what a terrible job to train a rookie.

He Bai passed the water to Di Qiuhe with his eyebrows furrowed and asked in a voice full of worries, “Are you alright?” In order to have a better light effect, Di Qiuhe had been standing in a dark place for long. The corner was quite suffocating as there was no wind, so he was sweating just standing there for a short time, which was indeed uncomfortable.

“It’s alright. Even as a girl, Dong Ni didn’t say she’s tired. Then how come I can’t outmatch her as a man?” Di Qiuhe drank the water and consoled him with his joking and said in a relaxing tone, “Little Bai, I can rest after this scene. I’m so sweaty and I want to change my clothes after work. Can you get them in my car for me?”

Wang Boyi, the man who was standing aside the whole day, now jumped out to get some attention. “Mr. Di, I’ll get them, you and Mr. He can just have some rest.” Then he turned and strode away like a perfect personal assistant.

Di Qiuhe was so speechless that he tried so hard to keep He Bai away from the last scene as it involved hugging. Maybe the assistant was too considerate for him.

“Then…” He struggled for a second and came up with another excuse, “Little Bai, I want some cold water. You go.”

He Bai took out a bottle of water from the minibar and put it into his hand. His eyebrows were still frowned and he said, “I knew you would want something cold. Here, I asked assistant Wang to prepare it.”

“……”

“Why don’t you drink it?” He Bai was confused.

Di Qiuhe opened the bottle and took a sip silently and said, “And wet towel…”

He Bai magically took out a small basin out of the minibar. There were water, ice and a white towel in the basin. He grabbed the towel and said while squeezing it, “When the make-up artist comes to do your make-up later, don’t rub your face too hard with this, just wipe your neck and shoulders. Got it?”

“Got it. What about the fan…” He was trying so hard.

He Bai put the towel into his hand and took a little fan from behind the minibar. He opened it and pointed it to his body while avoiding the hair, telling him, “Your hair can’t be messy, so you can’t use a big fan, just make it with this one.”

Di Qiuhe took a deep breath and looked at the minibar with hatred, “How come assistant Wang can be so considerate as a man?” Cut his salary! I had to cut his salary! He usually wasn’t so considerate like that!

He Bai crossed his arms and looked at him in despise, “So a man can’t be considerate? Why are you so sexist?”

Di Qiuhe was struck and he looked up at him carefully, then asked in a surprised and excited tone, “Was it you who prepared all of these, wasn’t it…”

He Bai sneered at him and pushed him down to the resting chair, while he himself sat on a small stool nearby and took out a popsicle out of the minibar. He then stopped talking with him but sipping the popsicle and checking his camera.

The little fan was blowing a cool breeze, and Di Qiuhe was getting a bit thirsty while watching He Bai sipping his popsicle. He took another mouthful of the cold water and then moved to him and said in a low voice, “Puppy…”

He Bai sneered.

Di Qiuhe said, “…I want a popsicle too.”

He Bai stopped for a bit and licked the other half of his popsicle.

Di Qiuhe just couldn’t help swallowing his drool.

“…” Wang Boyi returned and saw that scene and finally he felt there must be something wrong with Mr. Di.

Di Qiuhe stood in front of the camera yet with that popsicle all over his mind. He tried to hypnotize himself and imagined that Dong Ni standing right in front of his to be the popsicle that was just licked by puppy. Then his face suddenly turned so constrained and lustful, which matched exactly Cheng Jun’s feeling at that time.

The continuity clapped the clip stick and started filming the last scene.

Tu Xiu played by Dong Ni finally convinced Cheng Jun, and she dropped the gun and ran to Cheng Jun, wishing to hug her once-lost lover.

Cheng Jun opened his arms to hold her. He then closed his arms and his hand moved slowly to touch her neck.

The camera in charge of the close-up was moving closer gradually, but Di Qiuhe’s body got suddenly frozen.

“Cut!” Director Jiang’s eyebrows furrowed and he looked at Dong Ni and said, “What are you doing? Tu Xiu was indeed very excited, but she hasn’t confessed to Cheng Jun at the moment. So her hug was constrained and also with some caution! Why did you get so close to Qiuhe? And your face, don’t go too close to his neck. Cheng Jun is a soldier, and he is a very vigilant one. Were you expecting to be pushed away by him that you stayed so close to his neck?”

Di Qiuhe stepped back earlier than director Jiang shouted out that “Cut!”, and he was now wiping the lip print on his neck.

Director Jiang was even more furious when seeing that and said angrily, “Who is Dong Ni’s make-up artist?! Why did you apply such a red lipstick on her? Wipe it off!”
